Peafowl live in small family groups in India, where they can live up to 20 years. They eat a variety of plants and small animals found on the ground. Male peafowl, called peacocks, have colorful plumage on their neck and tail with distinctive patterns and colors not seen in female peafowl, called peahens. Peafowl breed seasonally in early summer, with peahens laying one egg per week over the course of the breeding period. Despite their small family sizes, peafowl populations are not considered endangered.

Team 1- Article
Male and female house sparrows can be distinguished by their feather coloration, with males having reddish backs and black bibs and females having brown backs with stripes. Sparrows eat insects as well as seeds, berries and fruit, though they are carnivores by nature. They can fly up to 24 mph and accelerate to 31 mph when needed, and can also swim fast to escape predators. Though usually monogamous, genetic analysis shows both males and females sometimes have extramarital partners. House sparrows can live 4-5 years in the wild and are very social, living in flocks, though urban flocks sometimes move to countryside in late summer to feed on grain.

Migration:Resons and Patterns
Migratory birds play important ecological, economic, and cultural roles. Over half of bird species nesting in the US are neotropical migratory birds, including songbirds, waterfowl, birds of prey, and shorebirds, that migrate south to Mexico, Central/South America, and the Caribbean for winter. The legislative definition of migratory birds includes species that traverse parts of the US, Canada, Mexico, Russia, or Japan during annual migrations and need protection during nesting and migrations.
Migratory birds
Migratory birds are some of nature's most magnificent creatures that play important ecological, economic, and cultural roles. Neotropical migratory birds nest in North America and migrate south to Latin America and the Caribbean for winter. Over half of bird species nesting in the US are neotropical migrants. These include songbirds, waterfowl, birds of prey, shorebirds, and others. Migratory birds may be at risk due to lack of protection during nesting season or migration. The legislative definition of migratory birds includes species that annually migrate through parts of North America, Central America, South America, Asia, and beyond.
Bat report for ariel hyers
Bats are omnivorous mammals that eat plants, animals, insects, and small vertebrates. They are nocturnal hunters that use echolocation to navigate and find prey in darkness. While most bat species eat insects, some tropical bats eat fruit and nectar, and three species drink blood. Bats face threats from habitat loss as forests are cut down and caves destroyed, as well as direct killing from humans for food, medicine, and out of misunderstanding. Conservation efforts aim to protect bat populations and combat myths that contribute to their endangerment.

Komodo dragons have 60 curved teeth that they lose and regrow multiple times throughout their life. They have strong claws and tails to help them climb, kill prey, and stand. As adults, their legs and tails become thicker and stronger to allow them to dig burrows and attack prey by knocking them off balance. Their long forked tongues and strong jaws allow them to smell prey and eat large amounts of meat at once. Komodo dragons have existed for millions of years and live in savannas, rainforests, and snowy mountains on several Indonesian islands, where they hunt deer, water buffalo, and other large animals.

Orangutans live in tropical forests in Sumatra and Borneo and eat a mainly fruit-based diet. They spend most of their lives in trees, swinging from branch to branch. Orangutans build nests at night for shelter. There are two types - Borneo orangutans have gray skin and rough hair while Sumatran orangutans are taller with brighter red hair. However, orangutans are endangered due to loss of habitat as their forests are cut down.

The king cobra uses its venomous fangs to hunt prey like green tree pythons and rat snakes, shooting venom through its fangs. It can take an hour to digest a large meal. With a single bite, the king cobra injects one teaspoon of venom into its victim, making it a very deadly snake, though it typically only attacks humans if threatened.
Anyae animal reasearch orangutans
Orangutans have teeth similar to humans that can crack hard nuts. They have strong gripping hands and bones like humans. Orangutans live in forests and jungles of Southeast Asia, primarily on Borneo and Sumatra, where they feed on fruits like mangos, plums, and figs as well as insects, bark, leaves, and soil. Their long arms help them move through trees, and they have four fingers and opposable thumbs to grip tools.
Aidan animal research
The Asian rock python has scales that help it blend into its environment like grasslands and trees, with dark and light colors that camouflage it from predators and prey. They can grow up to 20 feet long but some only reach 12 feet, and the thickest can be as wide as a basketball. Asian pythons ambush prey by lying in wait on the ground or low tree branches until victims are close, then attack quickly with curved teeth that hold tight as the snake coils around and suffocates the animal by squeezing until it has been swallowed whole.

Jazzmin Animal Reaserch Przwalskis Horse
Horses have adapted over time to have different toe numbers and body shapes suited for various environments and diets. Their vision allows them to see all around them for protection. Horses use their hooves, made of keratin like human nails, to dig and their muscular thighs allow bursts of energy. Their fur and ability to tuck tails keeps them warm. Wild horses live in plains and herds, keeping each other clean while domestic horses eat grass aided by front and back teeth.
Kamal Animal Reaserch Tiger
The document summarizes various aspects of tigers including their physical features, habitat, diet, subspecies, and life cycle. Tigers have stripes that help them camouflage and can kill strong animals. They have large claws and weigh up to 440 pounds. Tigers mark their private territories and hunt prey from tall grass or behind rocks, attacking when within 30 feet. The Malayan tiger was discovered to be a separate subspecies from the Indochinese tiger in 2004. Female tigers roar to attract males, and while often rough, tigers can also be calm and gentle at times.

Komodo dragons have strong legs that allow them to dig burrows and knock prey off balance when attacking. Their long tongues help them smell, and their jaws and teeth are powerful enough to consume large amounts of meat at once. As komodo dragons mature, their tails and scales grow thicker to provide strength and protection. They have existed for millions of years and will eat a variety of prey, including other komodo dragons. Their saliva contains bacteria that can weaken animals they bite, making it easier for komodo dragons to kill.
Bottlenose Dolphin Libby
Bottlenose dolphins mainly eat squid and fish. They hunt for food in groups, using their teeth to catch prey like 12-foot long squid. Babies get milk from their mothers. Bottlenose dolphins live all around the world, both in warm tropical waters and temperate oceans. Their main threats are fishing nets, pollution, and humans. They have physical features like a dorsal fin and fluke tail that help them swim fast. They breathe through a blowhole and can change its position when surfacing and diving. Bottlenose dolphins come in different colors and shapes, and their teeth can indicate age. They are playful mammals that sometimes play with potential prey instead of eating it.
Animal Study Eli
The Komodo dragon is a giant lizard that can grow up to 12 feet long and weigh 200-300 pounds, making it the largest lizard in the world. It lives on Komodo Island in Indonesia and has a diet consisting of large animals like deer, pigs, and buffalo. The Komodo dragon lays 20-40 eggs at a time and has a lifespan of approximately 50 years, though there are now only about 2500-5000 Komodo dragons remaining in the wild.
Peafowl Skye
1. Peafowl have iridescent feathers that appear to change color, with the male Indian peafowl having the most elaborate plumage including a fan of long tail feathers up to 1.6 meters long.
2. There are three species of peafowl - the Indian blue peafowl, green peafowl, and Congo peafowl.
3. Peafowl are found throughout parts of India and in zoos, and are not considered endangered. They eat a variety of plants and even snakes, drinking and eating mostly in the mornings and afternoons in the wild.
Animal Study Devon
The komodo dragon lives in Indonesia and eats large animals like deer, water buffalo, and smaller komodos. It has a flexible throat and strong jaws to eat large chunks of meat, intestines, and bones. The komodo can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh over 350 pounds. It lives in volcanic habitats on small Indonesian islands and will defend its territory and mates aggressively. The komodo dragon population is estimated between 2,500-5,000 and may be endangered due to their small habitat range.
Animal Study Adrianna2
Spotted dolphins are marine mammals that live in tropical oceans around the world. They breathe air through a blowhole, use echolocation to find prey like fish and squid, and have dark gray spots on their backs and light gray spots on their bodies. Spotted dolphins live in pods that can include up to 100 dolphins and migrate between different areas depending on the season. While they face threats from predators and accidental catching in fishing nets, conservation efforts aim to help protect spotted dolphin populations.
Animal Study Miles
Gray whales migrate between feeding grounds in the Arctic and breeding grounds in Baja California. They use echolocation and their baleen plates to filter feed on small creatures in ocean sediments. Gray whale numbers were nearly decimated by commercial whaling but have rebounded to around 20,000 thanks to international protections. Some western Pacific gray whales remain critically endangered with only around 100 left.
Animal Study Matt
The Chinese giant salamander is an endangered species that can grow up to 20 feet long and weigh over 140 pounds. They live in water-filled caves and eat fish, snails, and worms. Males guard eggs from August to September and females can lay up to 500 eggs. Their slimy skin helps protect them but they are nearly blind and often killed for food by humans, threatening their population.
Animal Study Leilah
Tigers are powerful predators that mainly eat large animals like wild pigs and cows. They have a strong sense of smell but sometimes need multiple attempts to catch prey, eating up to 60 pounds of meat in one night. Tigers exhibit different behaviors like enjoying swimming and having unique stripe patterns. They communicate and establish territory using vocal and visual signals. Once killed, tigers will drag their prey to a secure location to eat. There are only about 7,000 tigers remaining worldwide and they are classified as an endangered species due to threats like habitat loss and poaching for traditional medicine and skins.
Animal Study Krista
Mongolian horses, also known as Przewalski's horses, are an endangered species that once roamed western Mongolia in grassy and desert areas. They feed on grass, weeds, and occasionally small animals. In the 1960s, there were only around 400 Mongolian horses remaining. Scientists bred some in captivity and reintroduced around 150 horses to help increase the population. Mongolian horses live in family groups of 3 to 20 horses and can live up to 20 years. They weigh around 440 to 550 pounds.
